Drive CLI Agent Orchestrator multi-agent sessions from any Agent-Plugins-compatible client. Prerequisites: the uv toolchain must be on PATH (the MCP server is launched via uvx), and a CAO API server must be running locally at http://127.0.0.1:9889 (cao-server). All communication is localhost-only.
Skills for the Agent Plugins 1.0.0 package lifecycle: author a new package from an empty directory (the plugin.json manifest, skills/ and an optional mcp.json), and audit an existing one against the vendored schemas and the Agent Skills limits that CAO's own validator does not check. The audit skill bundles a validator that needs no CAO install and opens no network connection itself; its first run needs its dependencies available.
2 skillsagent-pluginsskillsauditSkills for extending CLI Agent Orchestrator: authoring providers and event plugins, and working on the repo itself (dev loop, CI gates, dependency and lockfile rules). Development-facing; install the cao plugin instead to drive sessions.
